Mice become a big problem in the fall and winter, as they scuttle inside homes seeking food and heat.
Greg Flynn is the supervisor for Braemar pest control in New Brunswick and PEI, and he tells CHSJ news mice are actually becoming a year round pest in Saint John. He says factors like being a port city, having 150 year-old infrastructures and pipes all add up to creating rodent problems.
Flynn suggests keeping pet food in sealed containers, properly sealing gaps and holes in your house and avoid leaving your door open for long.
He adds eliminating those key entry points goes a long way.
